which was not enabled when nessusd initially started up
- performance problems would arise when reading/writing KB files when  
scanning big networks
- nasl -T - script.nasl now makes script debugging easier
- Slightly faster initial plugins processing
- More robust plugins database backend
- On Mac OS X, users can be managed graphically thru the Nessus  
Server Manager program
- Updated the plugins distributed with the archive


We are thrilled to add Windows to our set of supported platforms.
